Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Rare Diseases
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Yellow Nail Syndrome (YNS) is a rare disorder.
  • It is characterized by nail changes, lymphedema, and pleural effusion.

Observation:

  • Four cases of YNS were diagnosed at our institution in six years.
  • This suggests YNS might be underdiagnosed.

Findings:

  • The classic triad of symptoms may not always be present.
  • This can lead to delayed or missed diagnoses.

Implications:

  • Increased clinical awareness of YNS is crucial.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management can improve patient outcomes.
